Structured loosely around what to plant grow or cultivate each month Karel Capek takes us on a rollicking journey through a year in his own small garden. Complete and unabridged.

This edition features lively black and white illustrations by Czech artist Josef Capek and is translated by M. and R. Weatherall. From making puddles with an untamable hose to sowing luxuriant weeds instead of grass Capek reveals how a gardener grows into his surroundings spurred on by each new failure . Subverting the tradition of a how to gardening book he teaches his readers about the magic of seeds the perils of planting vegetables and the thrilling surprises of a rock garden.
